COMFORT ADJUSTMENT Folding up second seat for third seat entry 16X185a 16X186a "Third seat Lean forward and pull the lock release lever. Then lean back to the desired angle and release the lever. For easy access to the third seat, fold up the second seat in accordance with the following procedure. Before folding up the second seat, stow the second seat belts as shown in the illustration. This prevents the belts from falling out when you fold up the second seat. CAUTION To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, avoid reclining the seatback any more than needed. The seat belts provide maximum protection when the passengers are sitting up straight and well back in the seats. If you are reclined, the lap belt may slide past your hips and apply restraint forces directly to the abdomen. Therefore, in the event of a frontal collision, the risk of personal injury may increase with increasing recline of the seatback. NOTICE The seat belts must be stowed before you fold up the second seat. 78
